Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Hi Justine :)
I particluarly like the composition of this flower shot. The yellow and black also create a powerful contrast, which also works very well here. The water drops add an interesting element with the light reflections in each of them.
You did a nice job of meeting the 'cliche' challenge as well. This particular composition is quite common and you make a nice interpretation of it :)
I believe that a minor increase in depth of field would make an improvement on this shot. I don't realize any enhancement of having some of the petals out of focus here. F4.5 or F5.6 would probably bring that extra detail into focus here.
Keep up the good work :)
John Setzler

| possibly cropped off a bit too much of the center of the flower you need to bring out the texture of the center. Water is a nice touch, adds a soft element.. |

| so so cliche :) TONS of water on flower shots. I love the yellow on black. What is it focus is really great, but I'd like a bit more dof. High quality shot.7 |

| That's a very interesting crop. Colour is great and the water drops are nice. It looks like you had a very shallow depth of field - I might have tried to get the entire flower in focus since there is no background, but it's still pretty good as it is. |

| I think a blue background would have suited the theme of this picture better. |

Composition: Really good positioning and balance between the yellow petals and the black of the b/g and centre.
Technical: I really like lighting and contrast. Pic is let down slightly by the focus of the end of the petals.
Overall impression: If focus was slightly better this would be near perfect. 8 |

| Looks like the PSE splash screen! One thing I don't like is the tops of the leaves being out of focus. :( |

| great shot, had to bump you up after a closer look. I might have used a contrasting background like red or blue. great shot. |

| Love the dark background and the contrasting yellow of the flower. Nice sharpness on the water drops. The only thin I'd change would be a deeper depth of field. Good luck. Jacko |

I might have liked this one better if you had used a soft focus effect and overexposed the petals just a tad.
